Does it need to fly, or just look nice?

Question for the MC Engineers (when we get to that part)...
We ( @haughty quiver, @paper peak, and I) have been working with Bryce Johnson at Microsoft on using CircuitPython with the XBox Adaptive Controller.
There are some challenges with the XAC USB ports that are also impacting using MakeCode as a Joystick/Gamepad controller.
What's the best way to get some of the fixes/improvements through the Microsoft development cycle?
Can you help push? (Bryce seems as frustrated as we are)
waxen thistle
MakeCode is an AMAZING low-barrier entry to programming. Introducing people, especially youth, to writing code is not an easy task.
It might not seem like much when you're in the day-to-day trenches, but sparking that inspiration and light changes lives.
slow spire
You could probably make it work with one motor, if the wings join, and the pager motor is pushing/pulling on the join.
eager cobalt
but the wings need to move out and then in, so woulnd't I need two motors? one for each side?
slow spire
You can probably start making it without the electronics, to get the motion working by hand.
eager cobalt
I thought i could just attach the wing to the edge of the motor?
waxen thistle
⏱ 🎮 @haughty quiver's MakeCode minute was 2min 05sec of DVD-logo wall bouncing goodness! 🎮 ⏱

@eager cobalt It could work like this:
https://youtu.be/-j8uhnf9MCo?t=304
eager cobalt
oh perfect!
how to do I that? I don;t need the trinket and the servo? I got all these items
So I don't need the pager motor? looks like he's using the hobby motor
slow spire
I'd get that working, maybe without the trinket. But then, once that's working, I'd try with a servo and trinket. That part's a lot of fun, since you can make the butterfly look more organic by varying the speed of the wing flaps in a nuanced way, like a real butterfly.
eager cobalt
Yes I need to make this for tomorrow

@open girder we're picking them up just fine without the extra mic... well, I am.
slow spire
The trinket is a tiny computer; you can tell it how fast you want the wings to flap on your butterfly, and have it change over time.
With just the battery and no Trinket, your butterfly runs at one speed.
With the Trinket, you can tell it to change over time.
waxen thistle
As a former blue-badger from 2008-ish "Old Microsoft" era, nothing makes me more happy than to see Microsoft embrace open-source and become a leader in that area.

Short 1/4-20" of those exact McMaster Carr inserts are my favorite too
Lots of choices on where to by 2020 - and you can cut them pretty easily with a hacksaw
These were a HUGE help - if you want another SKU I'd add them. These T-Nuts don't slip https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BKSNQC4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Tip - if you have a Weller, they are wider - you might need longer M3 screws for the clamp
I can find you M5 screws... 😉
M4 version
waxen thistle
For those not familiar with McMaster Carr -- they're an industrial hardware supplier that has a history for being very consistent with an excellent print catalog. And they've transitioned to the internet gracefully, with one of the nicest parts websites I've ever seen.
You will pay for this quality -- sometimes just a little, sometimes considerably, but if you want quality....they're hard to beat.

Mine's not on Thingiverse yet - I will do it

It's ok, we understand @lavish patrol

pearl shoal
You're showing the counter-weight version! Did you drop the spring?
On button-top screws you can add a washer (or two) to solve that
waxen thistle
I mean, I get it -- if someone is price-sensitive, they're going to be very turned off by the premium of McMC. They'll hit up aliexpress, amazon, ebay (overseas). And you might strike gold -- getting the same exact thing (or super close) for pennies.
But good luck using them as a steady supplier. And when designing things with close tolerances, you'll have to reiterate the design to accommodate the variance in the parts.
waxen thistle
Noe/Pedro -- do you have a metal bandsaw? You can get table mounts for handheld bandsaws from Milwaukee/Dewalt/etc
pearl shoal
You might mention that the height is pretty much unimportant
It can be taller than needed
I have one for the Weller
Vertical soldering irons melt
eventually
waxen thistle
And never ever leave your soldering on and unattended. I've been in places where if the iron was even plugged in, you had to stay with it or unplug it + wait for it cool before leaving.

waxen thistle
Have a fire extinguisher within arms reach at all times, and an easy way to kill the power to the device/bench (plug strip button, etc).
lavish patrol
And keep pets away. 😄

Could mount the iron at an angle, and set the base closer to an edge of the board, so the heat from the iron doesn't rise directly to the iron body..
/ instead of |
shell mason
automatic soldering station too?
pearl shoal
I'll have the files up on Thingiverse in 10 min
Maybe 5
Also, mention that our parts are completely compatible
You can use your cup w/mine, my pulley w/yours
spiral bough
You could add a gauge to set the stopper...
So that you can do the entire press in one go... Use a gauge/guide to set depth, set the stopper.
pearl shoal
(And it looks like I WILL be able to be on S&T if you want... I'm headed home - flight delayed & we decided to wait till tomorrow)
I will be using lots of 20x20
That would make an AWESOME Layer-By-Layer... show how to subtract a part from the standard teeth

Either by projecting, offsetting, and push/pull
Or using the Combine (cut) tool
That Screwdriver TOTALLY is worth the money on this project
Print it in ATMakers Green and it will disappear in Chroma-Key
prime sentinel
Which screwdriver?
pearl shoal
The twisty screwdriver he just used.. I'll look for a link
I never thought I'd spend this much on a stupid screwdriver, and I didn't spend the charity's money on it... but I love it https://www.adafruit.com/product/3856
prime sentinel
Ah, that thing! I actually have one of those! I was wondering if it was a Yankee screwdriver or one of those screwholding ones.
pearl shoal
It's just that the design is all held together with screws
That's awesome... need some chamfers around the base on that motor holder & it won't snap.
Go Long!

@lethal lagoon has an AWESOME book
river peak
@lethal lagoon That tube/cable contraption is the same sort of deal that you find in endoscopes. Only difference is the outer tube is actually a steel spiral. It might be more flexible than what you have there. We call them "Coil pipes" but who knows if that's what they're actually called.
lethal lagoon
oh super cool! yes I will look up smooth technologies
@river peak awesome! i will look those up too!
thanks!
the steel cable is nice because it doesnt stretch and doesnt compress
river peak
They end up really tiny, too, and it's steel cable inside
Well, depends on the steel cable you have. Some of ours will end up stetching just a little bit... which means you have to go back and re-set the angles the head of the scope gets
lethal lagoon
ahh interesting! i will enjoy going down this rabbit hole!
river peak
For something like what you're doing, though, the amount of stretch shouldn't be any issue. You're not trying to get exact angles out of things that are measured in millimeters
